I don’t know if it’s been officially announced or not, but a new Shuttle XPC small form factor PC has shown up on the Euro version of Shuttle’s site, dumping plenty of details about the SN95G5. The new aluminum barebones system uses Nvidia’s nForce 3 Ultra chipset (meaning it’s for Athlon 64 CPUs), the custom “ICE” heatpipe for low-noise cooling, Serial ATA and more (basically it’s v v hot and will be v v fast).
Looking over the site I can’t imagine it’s a leak – some non-English reviews are going up today – but it doesn’t look like anything has been announced in the US market yet. Reader Kristian Norland quoted a price of around $575 just for the unit, though – that’s about twice as much as previous XPC cases from Shuttle have retailed for in the US. If anyone would care to qualify that, I’d appreciate it.

Update: Here’s the forum thread with the quoted price. That’s one spendy little box. (Thanks again, Kristian!)
